Nothin’ Fishy Here
Donna Nye and Mike Jeffers recently braved the wilds of the West Branch of the Delaware River. Both inveterate anglers, they sought the elusive rainbow trout. And—dream come true—Donna achieved her goal! An 18-inch rainbow trout! Mike recorded the mighty battle for posterity.
A joyful 20-minute battle between woman and fish.
The triumphant winner—and guide Bob (in the green)—and her adversary (in rainbow color).
In good sport-fishing tradition, it was catch-and-release. The fish lives on to fight the good fight trout-wise.

Channeling Frank Lloyd Wright
Kendalites travelled to Usonia recently for a view of the neighborhood that Frank Lloyd Wright (and the school thereof) built. The van wove in and out of the Pleasantville neighborhood, viewing the houses. Last stop: the home of Roland Reisley. Reisley was front and center when the neighborhood was built. He worked directly with Wright on his house’s design. Reisley is now a 102, but spry as they come. He loved to describe significant features of the house, its design, and working with Wright. And Kendalites loved to hear it.
